Herp inventories were completed for the Lake Superior Basin, and for four western Great Lakes parks: Apostle Islands, Isle Royale, Pictured Rocks, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. These projects included historical reviews followed by targeted field work to develop species lists and identify information gaps. Several monitoring methods for herps in the Lake Superior Basin and the Milwaukee River Basin were tested and recommendations were made for improving inventory and monitoring programs through occupancy modeling and use of detection probabilities for determining minimum sampling effort.
